Great. Now the rest of the world will truely hate us all.
Ok, you know what ? Keep La Lohan and give us all the Glee kids, we’ll make do with them !! ;o)
Kthanks !
Does Glee have a large European fanbase? I guess I wasn’t aware of that.
Glee is broadcast over 30 countries around the world. I know for a fact that it’s huge in Ireland, UK and Australia.
omg! your kidding right?? most shows from america are shown over here in the uk!!! the only thing most of us are upset about is that jonathan groff won’t be preforming
I’m Irish living in Toronto Canada, and I know it’s huge in Ireland, it airs the very next night over there (according to my friends facebook 24hrs later) it’s only a day behind, now thats quick!
And where the heck is the Canadian tour I ask you????
The rest of the world is still convinced we live in igloos up here.
CORY is hugely popular in Canada, the Glee tour must come to Vancouver or Toronto!!!
Since when does “European” only mean the UK and Ireland ?
Since those two are the only countries where Glee is a big hit.
Because its not promoted at all in other countries .. We have it on TV but its on channel which only a few people have.
But yeah i agree, why “european” means England and ireland.
well both countries are in Europe!!?? it’s like is they did gigs in the US only in LA and New York, how else can they put it, UK and Ireland tour perhaps
Why no dates in Scotland????????
I’m sorry but they’re only going to GB and Ireland ? That’s Europe for you ? I’m in France right now and I want to see them so badly ! I guess I’ll have to go to London…
flights in Europe are next to nothing (try RyanAir or Easy Jet), u can get to London or Dublin for about €9.99
Yes but still, it would’ve been nice…
Anyway, I’ll still use the Eurostar I guess, RyanAir is not something I’d like to try right now, even if it’s cheap. too many problems lately.
I’m totally going to the concert in London. I want to see FINN live on stage! I saw the Youtube concert vids and I’m dying to see Cory Monteith!!!
I really hope when they announce the dates in the states– it’s different cities.
I heard it from an excited insider that they’re going to perform in Canada also! They’re gonna announce the dates together with the US dates.
Omg glee comeing to ireland cnt wait
Excuse me for a moment, but do mine eyes decieve me? Does this article proclaim that DARREN FREAKING CRISS is coming to England? OH MY WIZARD GOD!!!
I am so going.
I’m just a tad obsessed with Glee. VERY excited for everyone to be coming to England, particularly Darren Criss because he’s totally awesome. But.. but.. where’s Matthew Morrison? How can they do Glee without Mr Shue?
I am waiting on pins and needles for an announcement of U.S. tour dates…Ryan Murphy said it would be a longer tour than last time, so I hope he means what he says. Fingers crossed!
In France that would have a HUGE success
